did the vacuum line going to the wastegate save it from falling out into the road?

Just give Ryan a call; I'm sure he'll send you a new manifold

(Hope mine doesn't fall apart.....)

well see i had been running a 50trim for the longest time with the wastegate recirc'd into the downpipe so i guess that was added support. But now i'm running a custom fabbed 37r setup with external dump. anyway heres the pics

you are a waste of life sir. The picture was taken with a SLR, really not hurting anything large. Just people in general are too lazy to scroll over, not my problem.

If you just solely are trolling around to be a ****stain, stay out of my thread.

It's stainless. It can be TIG welded or MIG welded. MIG will create a bead that can rust as it won't be stainless material added. TIG is really the way to go.

If you don't support the wastegate it will break again.

That's great it's taken with an SLR, pics too big, scrolling sucks.

Thats what happens when you buy.




For real. This manifold always tends to crack after time goes by. This is the main reason people sell them for dirt cheap that plus the fact that it is a bad design. I recall RNR before they closed shop was selling me one of there 37R kits for $2400 for everything new with the manifold coated with whatever coating i wanted. But i turned it down knowing the manifold would crack over time and it just doesnt make the power it should.
